This news is a bit old but I wanted to mention it. New Belgium Brewing and Elysian Brewing Company are collaborating on their brewhouses. The two companies have agreed to allow their brew teams to utilize each other’s brewhouses, while keeping their business enterprises separate. This will allow New Belgium to utilize Elysian’s brewhouse for small batch brewing of experimental beers, which will be distributed in the Pacific North West. Elysian will be able to brew larger batches in New Belgium’s Fort Collins brewhouse for greater distribution through the country.
This seems to be a twist on the typical “contract brewing” agreement and it will be interesting to see how it works out. I know Ben did not give a good review of Elysian’s “The Immortal” IPA but I believe that was caused by a dud bottle, because I was quite impressed with their beers while visiting Seattle. So, if this agreement brings some of Elysian beers closer to me, they just started distributing in New York, I will be quite happy.

 Frankly, I’m not going to waste my time on this – I’m sorry I wasted my money. This beer pours a light and filtered golden, and it tastes metallic and rather bitter. However, this bitterness isn’t what I expect from a good, hoppy beer. Rather, it tastes cheap and slightly sour. I really hope this is a dud, because it simply isn’t good. For Elysian’s sake, I really hope that most beers off the line do better than this. However, if this is what we can expect from Elysian, then I’d give a resounding “Don’t Buy” rating to this brew.
